Accessing Pre-AP Classroom with Dual Roles

Pre-AP Coordinator/Administrator access and Pre-AP Course Teacher access cannot be granted simultaneously to the same College Board account.

• If you are both the campus Pre-AP Coordinator/Administrator and a Pre-AP Course Teacher, you will need to create and maintain a separate College Board account to use with your Administrator access code. You cannot use the same College Board account to access Pre-AP Classroom as a Pre-AP Course Teacher and Pre-AP Coordinator/Administrator. You will need to use a different email address when creating a separate College Board account.

• If you have already been provisioned to access Pre-AP Classroom as a Pre-AP Course Teacher, it is recommended you maintain that access on your current College Board account and create the separate account for your Administrator access using the Access Code provided.

URL and Login After your campus AP Coordinator has completed setup, log in to Pre-AP Classroom at myap.collegeboard.org using your College Board username and password.

Once you’ve logged in, you will land on the AP Central® homepage. The AP Central homepage provides an overview of AP and Pre-AP participation, the status of Pre-AP Registration and Ordering, and additional program resources.

From the AP Central homepage, you can navigate to the Pre-AP Classroom Access Management portal. Scroll down and click on AP Registration and Ordering.

IMPORTANT: Your campus AP Coordinator must access Pre-AP Classroom and complete the questionnaire for your school’s AP and Pre-AP participation before you can access Pre-AP Classroom with your Administrator access code.

If you receive an error message stating that your AP Coordinator has not completed your school’s set-up, consult with your designated Coordinator to ensure that he/she has accessed the system and completed the AP Registration and Ordering confirmation for your school. You will not have access to Pre-AP Classroom for Pre-AP-related purposes until the AP Coordinator completes the initial set-up.

Student Enrollment

Joining a Class Section

Pre-AP course teachers provide the Join Code for each of their class sections to their students. When students have the Join Code, they can sign in to AP Central (myap.collegeboard.org) to enroll in the class section. Students need to enroll in the class section for each Pre-AP class they’re taking using the unique Join Code for each class.

To sign in, students need to use their College Board account. This is the same login they may have used in the past for psat-related assessments or Khan Academy®. If students don’t have an account, they can click the Sign up link. For more information, refer to the Pre-AP Classroom Student Onboarding and Support resource in your Coordinator Community or under Help in Pre-AP Classroom.

If a student at your school joins a Pre-AP class after initial enrollment has ended, the student will need the Join Code for the corresponding class section so they can enroll.

Viewing Student Enrollment

You can monitor student enrollment in Pre-AP Registration.

After class sections have been created, you can go to the Courses page to:

• Click the course name to view a list of students enrolled in all sections for the course.

• Click the section name to view a list of students enrolled in the specific section.

To view all enrollments, not just enrollments for a particular section or course, click Students in the top navigation menu.

Download Student Roster

From the Students page, you can download a list of all students by clicking Download Student Roster.

The student roster will contain: • student name • grade • school code for the school the student attends • email address • AP ID (if applicable/provided) • school student ID (if applicable/provided) • the name of each course and class section each

student is currently enrolled in • fee reduction status (AP students only)

Resources and Tools for Pre-AP Course Teachers and Students Pre-AP Course Teacher Access

Pre-AP course teachers need access to a computer or tablet (minimum resolution 1024 × 768) that supports the latest version of Chrome (preferred), Safari (preferred), Firefox, or Internet Explorer and is connected to the internet.

To access Pre-AP Classroom resources and set up class sections for students, after their Course Audit form has been approved by their Course Audit administrator, Pre-AP course teachers go to myap.collegeboard.org and sign in using their College Board account. It’s important that Pre-AP course teachers don’t create multiple College Board accounts.

After signing in, Pre-AP course teachers will land on the Pre-AP Classroom page, which displays a list of subjects they are teaching.

If the Pre-AP coordinator has already created class sections, the Pre-AP teacher will see their class sections with course details.

If class sections haven’t been created yet, the teacher will see a notice about creating class sections. Teachers should create class sections for Pre-AP courses, but Coordinators also have the ability to create sections for Pre-AP courses and teachers at their schools.

Teachers Creating Class Sections Communicate with Pre-AP course teachers to let them know they should create their own class sections. After signing in at myap.collegeboard.org, teachers click Add Section+ for the appropriate course.

Complete the information in the next screen:

Section Name: Use the naming convention that works best for your school. Class section names should be easily recognizable by students and educators. The limit for each section name is 20 characters.

Maximum number of students: This will default at 40, but you can edit this number if necessary. Once the number of enrollments equals the maximum number of students that have been set for that section, no one else will be able to enroll in that section unless you edit the field to increase the maximum number. (Teachers also have the ability to edit the maximum number of students.)

Course Schedule: There are a few options for course schedule: o Standard Full Year: Use this option if the section is held

for the whole school year or is held only during the first semester.

o Second Semester: Use this option if the section is held only during the second semester.

Viewing the Join Code

Once a class section has been created, the Join Code is visible next to the course information on the teacher’s AP Central homepage and in Pre-AP Classroom.

To open a printable view of the Join Code for a particular section, navigate to My Classes in Pre-AP Classroom, and click the blue icon next to the Join Code.

Important: Join codes are generated per class section, not per student or per teacher. Therefore, if a Pre-AP course teacher has multiple sections, the system will generate a unique Join Code for each section for the teacher to provide to their students. Students must have a Join Code for each class they’re taking. Students also need to be enrolled to access Pre-AP Classroom’s resources and feedback for every Pre-AP class they’re taking. As students enroll, Pre-AP course teachers can view the enrollments.

Accessing Pre-AP Classroom Resources

After class sections are created, Pre-AP course teachers will have access to: • Course-level Resources: View course guides and crosswalks. • Units: View instructional content including units, subunits, and unit resources. • Assignments: View the status, progress, and results of assignments.

AP Central gives Pre-AP course teachers direct access to Pre-AP Classroom resources for each class section they teach.
